Coaching is distinct from consulting in that I will help you come up with your own answers rather than advising. It is different from therapy in that we will address any obstacles that keep you from achieving your goals, but we will not engage in therapy or any psychological area that requires training and licensing.

ICF-credentialed coaches are professionals who have met stringent education and experience requirements, and have demonstrated a thorough understanding of the coaching competencies that set the standard in the profession. Additionally, they adhere to strict ethical guidelines as part of ICF’s mission to protect and serve coaching consumers.

An ICF Credential is a professional certification indicating that a coach has met specific standards and requirements designed to develop and refine their coaching skills. It is an indication that the coach is dedicated to upholding strong principles of ethical behavior in coaching. 

I am committed to supporting you in achieving your desired outcomes and having each session be meaningful and productive. I agree to conduct myself professionally and maintain the ethics and standards set by the International Coaching Federation.

I will not offer advice in any area that I am not qualified and will, upon request, assist you in finding a trained or licensed professional for any matter that is outside my scope of expertise.

Everything said in our sessions is confidential. What happens in our sessions stays in our sessions.

I understand that emergencies can happen to anyone; therefore, if an emergency keeps you from attending a session, please contact me whenever possible to let me know of the circumstances. Events, such as, a family emergency, a serious accident or an illness are considered “emergencies.” 

In all other circumstances, if you miss a session without notice or cancel less than 24 hours in advance, the full fee will be charged.
